Thank you! My twin sister and I put i together.

@joy-caroline

Apparently my email notifications are acting up again. =

That could work, especially since each of the cultures/nations in my books are based off real life languages/regions. Maybe I could work It into the themes too.

(But then, I’m not exactly writing an allegory, so should I even have a different name for God? I’ve tried to just…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yeah, rabbits aren’t usually used beyond the cute fluffies that live in Beatrix Potter. That’s part of the irony equipped in Green Ember. Helpless bunnies face monsterously huge predator/enemies and fight back.

Rabbitswithswords!

Wow, that’s a lot of fanfiction. 😉 It sounds really fun! I haven’t read much sci-fi, but my brother…[Read more]

@annabelle

Ok, that’s good to hear! Sometimes predictability is a bit of a problem for allergies. (And now I’m intrigued.)

Hmm, I can see how expectations could be, um, met by false advertising? 😉

I’m afraid that when I think ‘with a medieval twist’ especially on anything to do with royalty…well, stolen kingdoms, sudden tragedy, and…[Read more]

@gracie-j AHH that makes me feel so happyyyy!!! THANK YOU for making my week!!!! XDD God bless YOU!!!!

@annabelle

Oooo, that’s a very exciting list of have-reads!

What did you think about the  The Wilderking Trilogy? I’ve only read the first book and am interested in the rest.

Also, how did you like Princess Academy? I read that series a while ago, and liked it well enough. A little mushy, but that’s a common complaint of mine. 😉

(I’m not…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Hm… Well, pretty much everything I can think of has swearing in it, so I’m afraid not a lot of my reccs will be completely clean. Yotsuba&! is one of my favorite wholesome slice-of-life mangas with no anime adaption, about a little girl, so it should be enjoyable for adults, and probably for kids as well. Other than that,…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

That means the books must have been either really good, or simply dreadful. XD

[As I have read the Green Ember series I’ll go with the former (Helmet’s just great!)]

Oh, and I have another! (How could I forget?) It’s the one about a slave in Akalone that’s part of the Goodson line of royalty.

I have a lot of Green Ember fanfiction ideas! 😂

@keilah-h

I have written three fanfics, and am writing one (Wilfred’s journal). All except for the journal were short stories.

One is about some Araluen rangers. It’s got an interesting idea, but is horribly written. -_-

Another is about Garten’s discovery of the existence of Jupiter’s heir. Once more, fascinating idea that holds some promise,…[Read more]

@nova21 Awee, that means so much to me!! Thank youuu <33 I’m not sure what days I’ll share chapters yet, but I’ll definitely be posting two a week! At the moment, I’m thinking Fri Sat or Sat Fri, but we’ll see XD

@joy-caroline   @elishavet-pidyon

Both of y’all’s books sound amazing! (Yes I’ve been stalking this topic =] ) I hope they get published soon so I can read them.

I’m not writing an allegory in particular, but simply portraying truths in a different way. (Or is that what a parable is?) However, I keep running into rough spots. Here’s one.

@devastate-lasting Thank youuu!!!

@daisy-torres How exciting! I’ll be sure to check it out! Best of luck!

@kathleenramm Don’t feel bad, I can hardly read anything besides manga now. But for the sake of this discussion I’ll leave manga out of it.

How Many Books Have you Read this Year? List every one you read!

Out of the 220 books I read, only 15 were real books. And a lot were rereads.

The Summer of the Swans – Betsy Byars

Born Again – Charles…[Read more]

@avacoulter

Girl, I TOTALLY agree! I love Bilbo so much more in the Hobbit!!! (He’s my absolute favorite character from the Hobbit!!)

Hmm, my favorite thing about writing would have to be creating my own stories and characters. (Creating is my life!) Mostly fantasy and some realistic-type stories. Here lately, though, I’ve been trying my hand…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Ah, the Ninjago line was a joke, haha.

The Fangs in Wingfeather Saga reminded me of the snake creatures in Ninjago, so I thought I’d make a little joke about it.

But yeah, sometimes jokes get misinterpreted when it’s in writing like this, haha.

@kathleenramm

Aww don’t feel bad XD I haven’t gotten much read either this year, sadly. I think I’ve read… maybe 9. I feel like this could be more, but that is all I can think of at the moment haha.

The Christy Miller Series–6 books, Robin Jones Gunn

Mark of the Thief–Jennifer A. Nielson

The Lost Island of Tamarind books 1 and 2–Nadia…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

There were probably more, but I’ve forgotten them😅. Anyway, I absolutely love reading, and I devour new books anytime I can get them.

You sound like my older siblings. XD
